Whatever bad could happen to the students of some branches of Interregional Academy of Personnel Management (MAUP), unfortunately, has already happened to them. They are left without money and diplomas. But the recently closed MAUP branches though having the clouded reputation still has the money.

Recently in its Internet site Ministry of Education and Science has published the list of higher educational establishments that were deprived of their licenses or prohibited to teach certain subjects. It was done to prevent the present enrollees from making a mistake in choosing the educational establishment.

In total there are 104 higher educational establishments and branches in this list. At that, most of all hurt was MAUP, which claimed to be not only the biggest non-state educational establishment of the country, but also were proud of fostering the future personnel for supreme authorities. (Can you imagine how the MAUP graduates who occupy the posts in such authorities feel themselves now?! One can die of shame!)   

The Academy of conservative-chauvinist Schokin is deprived of the license for teaching in 12 higher educational establishments, and some faculties were closed in other four. What does it mean?  I think it means that young people were ripped off their money and given the false diploma together with pro-fascist literature.

“We are the most prestigious”, “We train the elite for managing the country” - approximately this way perorated the notorious MAUP rector Georgiy Schokin. At present with the same enthusiasm the school graduates are appealed to not to waste their money if they decided to enter MAUP: “We are being closed because we do not have libraries!”, “Our licenses are withdrawn because we do not have enough PhDs, that is why there will be nobody to teach you!”, “Education we are providing you with (especially in our branches) does not stand up to criticism. In Poland, where we have our branch, the MAUP diplomas are accepted only when you apply for the post of street cleaner!” and etc. (By the way, the scandal in Poland when the local State Department of Higher Education seriously doubt the diplomas issued by MAUP was given coverage in mass media several times). The officials of the Academy declare that the problem is in canteens, libraries and gyms. But you should admit, that this problem is peanuts for such “grand” - if there is a will there is a way. Most likely it is not the only reason.

 MAUP deceived students of Boryspil’ and Krivyy Rig, Druzhkovka and Makeevka, Zhitomir and Berdychev, Kremenchug and Chernigiv, Kam’yanets’-Podil’skyy and Smela. They bammed students from Chernivtsy, Simferopol’, Uzhgorod and Kirovograd. What should do those who trusted Schokin and his establishment advertising and now lost their student ID cards and money? The only hope is to move the court that can make the rascals, engaged in education trafficking, to recoup the material and psychological losses of the complainants. I think, it is possible to get from “the biggest non-state educational establishment” and Georgiy Schokin, a successful and main trafficker of academic degrees, what they defrauded from students and their parents.

By the way, every MAUP branch was always registered as closed joint-stock company. It means that students dealt not with educational establishments but with commercial entities that bought the licenses and did not meet the requirements according to which the said licenses were granted.

It is not the best times for MAUP students. At entering the said educational establishment the majority of them didn’t have even the slightest idea of what would happen to them in future. Great amount of money used by Schokin for PR and advertising helped him to reach the goal: the students believed that they made the right choice. When the fussy days of entrance examinations and troubles with documents were over they felt that now they could say: “I’m a student of the prestigious educational establishment!” and it turned to be false. The educational establishment is not prestigious, and the only achievement it has - misanthropic, xenophobic and Nazi ideas that almost were enrolled into the compulsory curriculum.  Automatically it threw a shadow on the students of this notorious educational establishment. Though in order to get the diploma that costs a lot, they are ready to bear it for several years. Although among themselves, when having party (like in old Soviet times), they turn loose their emotions and speak about the sore subject. Once I witnessed such conversation and found out a lot of interesting information.

Periodically the brochures containing the ideas that contradict the norms of any democratic state are distributed among the students. This educational establishment brings up the young specialists on the basis of misanthropic, fascist and racist ideology. And it happens in democratic country!

 Students even have the standard set of jokes for such occasions. Though they know that during academic years there will be no place for such jokes. One of my acquaintances said that they were afraid of talking at the premises of this educational establishment. Even one word that contradicts to the said ideology might result in “repressions” such as not passing the exams or tests. The MAUP’s management order to make all the students to subscribe to chauvinist and racist “scientific” magazine “Personnel” and newspaper “Personnel Plus” became normal. You should agree that in XXI century the absurd ideas about one race domination over another are humiliation of not only the democracy, but the intellect of quite smart students.
